Kate Middleton made a heartfelt revelation about her cancer treatment during her first official engagement of 2025. On January 14, the Princess of Wales made a surprise visit to The Royal Marsden Hospital, where she had been receiving care. This visit confirmed that she would be joining Prince William as a patron of the esteemed facility.
During her visit, Kate interacted with both patients and staff, discussing her own experience with chemotherapy. She notably shared a light-hearted moment with Katherine Field, a 45-year-old breast cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy. As Katherine wore a cold cap to prevent hair loss, Kate pointed to her arm and chest and jokingly said, “I got so attached to it,” referencing her own chemotherapy port. She went on to share that when doctors told her she could remove the ports after completing her treatment, she was skeptical about letting go of them.
In March 2024, Kate had revealed her cancer diagnosis and treatment, which led her to step back from public duties. By September, she announced that she had completed chemotherapy and, during her hospital visit, confirmed that she is now in remission. Though she has not disclosed the specifics of her diagnosis, this marks a significant moment in her journey.
Kate expressed deep gratitude to The Royal Marsden for the care she received, posting a heartfelt message on X later that day: “I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to The Royal Marsden for looking after me so well during the past year.” She also thanked those who had supported her and Prince William during their journey, highlighting the importance of empathy and kindness during challenging times.
As she continues her work with the hospital, Kate is focused on supporting cancer research, clinical excellence, and the well-being of patients and their families, using her platform to promote awareness and understanding of cancer care.
